EDUCATION + WORKFORCE

Cherokee Nation and Amazon Collaborate to Support Cherokee Film Institute
A recently announced collaboration between Cherokee Nation and Amazon will provide full scholarships to Cherokee Film Institute’s (CFI) inaugural class of students. Amazon’s financial contribution will mean the first 25 students accepted into the program can receive full certification completely tuition-free. Under CFI, Cherokee Nation and its businesses, as well as industry and community partners like Amazon, are investing in a long-term strategy to create educational and career opportunities aimed at removing barriers for Native Americans to enter the film and media industry while creating a sustainable workforce in and around its tribal reservation. All courses created by the Cherokee Film Institute are directly aligned with industry needs and the first courses are set to begin in January 2025.
